bers of the Spanish Socialist Circle and raided their headquarters.

VIOLENT FIGHT RAGING FOR FİNAL

POSSESSION OF CITY

Avila, To-day.

The minutest plans have been made by General Franco for the immediate replacement of the authorities in Madrid after its capture. Whole sections of technicians have been organised to take over the running of the post office, trains, the police and public services. Lorries laden with food are standing by outside Madrid to relieve the food shortage.

Since the capture of Madrid will not end the war General Franco is planning for the safety of the city and the organising of it as a base for future action. Nobody will be allowed to enter the city immediately after the entry of the troops without a spe- cial authorisation. Accredited foreign correspondents only will be allowed to enter en bioe on a day to be settled by General Franco. Anyone disobeying these orders will be treated as a spy-j

London: What is expected to prove the last battle for Madrid is now in full swing. According to Lisbon reports masses of African infantry, supported by hundreds of armoured-cars and tanks, are engaged in hand to hand fighting with the Government troops holding the front lines of the Madrid defences. The in- surgent batteries at Al Coron and Getafe have been shelling the capital since dawn yesterday.
